<h3>Getting Started & Details</h3>
<h3>How to Add Videos</h3>
Adding content is simple. The plugin uses the YouTube Video ID (the 11-character string at the end of a YouTube URL). 
* Example: For <code>youtube.com/watch?v=9K4uBRkFJEU</code>, the ID is <code>9K4uBRkFJEU</code>. 
* Simply enter this ID in the Video editor, and the plugin fetches the rest.
<h3>Built-in Layouts</h3>
If you use the Optional Setup Assistant, it will create two ready-to-use pages for you: 
1. YouTube Video Gallery: Features a main player with thumbnail navigation at the bottom. 
2. YouTube Video Grid: A high-resolution 4-column responsive layout.
<h3>Customization Tips</h3>
<ul>
<li>Thumbnail Quality: You can change dimensions (e.g., 4:3 instead of 16:9) in the settings to match your site’s design.</li>
<li>Content & Excerpts: Add custom text for every video. The content appears on the single video page, while the excerpt appears right below the main video in the gallery view.</li>
</ul>
